Bri_ght8491
Ethan Grayson thought his life as a failed writer was over—until his death became a prologue. Reborn into the magical realm of Aldrion, Ethan finds himself inhabiting the body of Kael Darius, a young apprentice mage cursed with forbidden power. In this world where magic is outlawed and controlled by the ruthless Emperor Valen, Kael discovers he is the fated 'Shadow Scribe,' a mage whose words can shape reality itself. With his storytelling skills as his only weapon, Kael must outwit imperial enforcers, navigate deadly alliances, and uncover the truth behind the prophecy that binds him. Joined by Aria Myrel, a rebellious rogue seeking vengeance against the Empire, and Tharos, a sentient shadow beast born of forbidden magic, Kael sets out on a perilous journey to reclaim his destiny. But as whispers of an ancient rebellion resurface, Kael realizes that the greatest stories aren’t written in ink—they’re forged in fire. In a land where tales hold power and every word can be a weapon, Kael must rise from the shadows and write his own legend before the Emperor’s army silences him forever.

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
